5 Treasure Tea with Black & Red Gojiberry

🌿 New Tea - What’s Brewing at My Blue Tea?

Discover TCM in your daily brew—a thoughtful blend for overall wellness, rooted in ancient wisdom and crafted for modern life.

At My Blue Tea, our mission has always been to bring the wonders of nature to your cup. From our heritage tea, Butterfly Pea flowers to our vibrant, health-conscious blends, we’re dedicated to offering products that nourish the body and delight the senses. Find your balance in a cup. This year's new tea collection brings the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to life, offering modern blends that help harmonise your energy—balancing the calming yin with the invigorating yang for holistic wellness with our new 5 Treasure Tea.

The journey to MyBlueTea is deeply personal. Our founder faced a common modern struggle: the impossible balance between work and well-being. It manifested in waking up with dread, eating habits, and a body sending clear signals—bloating, discomfort, Aussie weather, "sudden" eczema—that they couldn't be taken lightly anymore.

This crisis became our catalyst. MyBlueTea TCM tea was born from the transformative power of returning to balance through TCM. We learned that true wellness isn't a quick fix, but a gentle, daily practice of understanding your own body. It’s about nourishing with the right herbal teas, grounding with restorative foot baths, eating with intention, right cooking & eating habits, and finally listening and understanding the real yin-yang balance—so you can reclaim your energy and feel truly well, from the inside out.

5 Treasure Tea with Traditional Wisdom (The Ancient Blueprint) -

Ingredients

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this combination is a masterclass in nourishing and harmonising. It targets the Spleen, Liver, and Heart meridians, which are central to energy, stress resilience, and vitality. These are found in our 5 Treasure Tea ingredients listed below:

• Red Dates (Hong Zao): The cornerstone. A supreme Qi and Blood tonic, known to calm the mind (Shen), strengthen digestion, and add a natural sweetness.

• Red Gojiberry (Gou Qi Zi): Primarily nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood. Famous for "brightening the eyes" and supporting vitality.

• Mulberry (Sang Shen): A blood and Yin tonic, often used to moisten dryness, support hair health, and provide a gentle, fruity flavour.

• Rosebud (Mei Gui Hua): The key regulator. Moves stagnant Qi (energy), especially in the chest and liver, alleviating feelings of stress, frustration, and promoting smooth circulation of energy and emotions.

• The addition of Black Gojiberry (Hei Guo Gou Qi) is a modern, evidence-informed twist. In TCM, it's seen as a more potent Kidney and essence (Jing) tonic, often associated with anti-aging and deeper antioxidant support.

5 Treasure Tea - Ingredients for Modern Translation: The "Why" for Today's Life

This blend isn't just about "Qi" in an abstract sense; it's about tangible benefits that address modern stressors.

1. Adaptogenic Energy, Not Caffeine: Instead of a coffee crash, it offers a gentle lift. Red dates and Goji berries support mitochondrial function and help combat fatigue by nourishing the body's energy-production pathways at a cellular level.

   
   

2. Stress & Mood Modulation: Rosebud is a gentle nervine. Modern herbalism recognizes its role in soothing nervous tension and mild anxiety. Combined with the Qi-regulating effect, this makes the tea an ideal "after-work unwind" ritual.

   
   

3. Skin & Beauty from Within: A modern "beauty tea." Goji berries and mulberries are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants (like anthocyanins in black goji) that combat free radicals from pollution and blue light. Rose is historically used for promoting clear, radiant skin through liver support.

   
   

4. Digestive Harmony: The natural sugars in dates and mulberries, along with the gentle warmth, can support a healthy gut environment. TCM links strong digestion (Spleen Qi) directly to clear energy and mental focus.

   
   

5. Rich in Phytonutrients: This is a synergistic antioxidant powerhouse. You get:

   • Polysaccharides from Goji (for immune modulation).

   • Anthocyanins from Black Goji & Mulberry (anti-inflammatory, cognitive support).

   • Vitamin C & Iron from the fruits (for collagen synthesis and energy).

   • Fibre from the whole fruits (gut health, blood sugar balance).

5 Treasure Tea - Modern Lifestyle Integration: How to Position & Enjoy

This blend fits seamlessly into contemporary wellness routines:

• The Morning Alternative: A caffeine-free start that hydrates and provides a steady stream of nutrients without overstimulation.

• The Afternoon Re-set: Brew a strong pot to combat the 3 PM slump. The subtle sweetness can curb sugar cravings.

• The Digital Detox Companion: Sip it warm while taking a break from screens. The antioxidants help mitigate oxidative stress from digital exposure, and the ritual itself is mindful.

• The Beauty Elixir: Market it as part of a "skincare from within" routine, perfect enjoyed warm or as a chilled infusion.

• Culinary Versatility:

  • Brew it Hot: Standard infusion (5-8 mins).

  • Brew it Cold: Steep overnight for a rich, vitamin-rich iced tea. (TCM advice best to have it warm).

  • As a Base: Use the strong brew as a liquid for oatmeal, smoothies, or even in mocktails.

  • "Eat Your Tea": After brewing, the softened fruits can be eaten—a zero-waste, nutrient-packed bonus.

HERBAL FOOT BATH TEA

For maximum benefit, enjoy 5 Treasure tea warm after a meal, and pair it with a relaxing evening foot bath. The warm tea regulates Qi internally, while the foot bath (with a handful of coarse salt) draws energy downward to warm and strengthen the foundational Qi and Blood, completing a holistic circuit of nourishment and circulation.

5 key TCM reasons for foot baths:-

• Unblocks Qi & Blood: Stimulates meridians converging in the feet to relieve stagnation and improve circulation.

• Strengthens Kidneys: Warms and tonifies the foundational Kidney system via the "Bubbling Spring" point (Yongquan KI-1).

• Calms the Mind & Aids Sleep: Guides excess Yang energy downward to soothe the spirit (Shen) and promote deep sleep.

• Expels Pathogens: Releases Wind, Cold, and Dampness through sweat, preventing aches and stiffness.

• Balances Yin & Yang: Regulates the body's core energies through thermal therapy and herbal additives.

Pro Tip:  Add herbs like ginger or cinnamon (for cold), mugwort (for circulation), or lavender (for calm) to enhance effects and cinnamon is pungent, sweet, and intensely Yang (warming).  Experience the cumulative benefits of herbal foot therapy with our Herbal Foot bath tea  by making it a regular practice—daily is ideal, or 2-3 times a week as a powerful minimum.
